Thank goodness it’s AlohaFriday! And I’m starting a few new things next week.
Me? I think I look like this.
But if you see me, I most likely look like this.
Big stuff coming up.
What I think vs reality

Sur rules to be more vertical
A multi-prong approach is most definitely the best way to serve.
And to make the biggest impact, I need to be more vertical. Everybody.
This time, let’s play by my rules.
Quit pondering. Just du it.
I think I know the answer.
August rush #2018
Ahhh yes, August will be busy, but not.
First and second week I will be out of service (OOS)
Third week, will be in Region 5 as we will be discussing debris management.
Fourth and fifth week, popping that social media magic at the State of Mississippi and the State of South Carolina State Emergency Operations Center. Region 4 baby!
Likely a big announcement mid August so keep a keen eye open.
Yes, Fall is upon us so let’s get the mojo working!
Gimme a minute to think…
Need. Sleep. Please.
Pretty sure I fell asleep waiting for the elevator today.
To quote Ray, I gotta get some sleep, I’m dying.”
Your steady hand or tripod? C’mon!
Let’s discuss a few things…
While I appreciate that your steady hands are working, I doubt that you will be able to hold that steady shot for a long time.
Look at that crowd, think about the duration, the shot, the angle of viewing.
IMHO, I would suggest that maybe you get a tripod or a monopod.
In fact, many of the field PIOs use tripods/monopods for daily use.
And no, with my setup, you don’t even have to argue about vertical or horizontal.

Fire gear is not rated for PFD use
Pretty sure fire turnout gear isn’t rated for water rescue of any kind.
Additionally, your portable radios are not water proof either.
Again, please consider your situation and dress appropriately.
Stay ahead of this! #SharkWeek
As we close out 2018 SharkWeek, the moral of the week is really to always be on the lookout for bad stuff in disasters.
Easy in peace time, disaster response is tougher than it seems esp when you have to stay ahead of mis-information or fake news. Your ability to operate ahead of the game and be the true voice of your agency will be critical in your success.
Let me say that again, your ability to be ahead of the game is critical to your success in an emergency or disaster.
How can you always remain ahead?
- Read about current issues
- Plan for situations within your AOR
- Train like you fight.
- Build relationships before the big one.
Keep it real my peeps….stay safe this weekend.
There’s some-fin special about your situational awareness
Always keep your wits about you!
Maintaining good situational awareness is critical for any professional. So to help illustrate this, I submit this Thursday gem.
I’d make some sharp joke about between two ferns…
I was out patrolling and arrested a street shark…you know, just some dorsal profiling…
No lie, he thought I was jawsome….
OK OK OK…I’m here all night!
Be safe my peeps and maintain good situational awareness!
Can Sharknado be real? Easy answer is…
It’s Wednesday – so on this fine hump day, I bring you this hump of a disaster…
…more like a movie that is a disaster. I can confirm, Sharknado isn’t real.
The possibility of a sharks flying around in a tornado are incredibly rare.
Don’t be a bozo.
